AMBROSE AND HIS ORCHESTRA
Bert Ambrose directed what many connoisseurs, at the time and since, regarded as the finest British dance band.
Among the many records it made for Brunswick, HMV, and Decca, the following stand out as being of considerable
jazz interest. There may well be others of similar quality, despite unpromising titles.

ARC-BRUNSWICK STUDIO BANDS
A complete listing of sides made by the studio dance orchestras for Brunswick and Melotone (subsequently to be¬
come amalgamated with Banner, Conqueror, Pathe, Romeo, and other labels within the American Record Corpora¬
tion), is given in The American Dance Band Discography. Reference to this will show how extraordinarily compli¬
cated the crediting of names was. A single session of four titles might produce issues labeled with a different band
name each. Because many of these were bands that actually existed, but had little if anything to do with the orches-
36
ARC-BRUNSWICK STUDIO BANDS
tras heard on the records, it seems to be more suitable to list all the ARC "house" bands under the above heading,
with reference to the names on the labels. The abbreviations used for these are as follows:
RB - Ralph Bennett and his Seven Aces (All Eleven of 'Em)
BC - Bob Causer and his Cornellians (or sometimes his Orchestra)
OF - Owen Fallon and his Californians
SH - Sleepy Flail and his Collegians
AK - Art Kahn's Orchestra
EL - Ed L(l)oyd and his Orchestra
LPM - Les Peabody and his Memphis Ramblers
The records listed below are chosen from the enormous output by the house bands as containing at least one good
jazz solo. They have been reported by reliable authorities, and many have been checked for the qualities ascribed
to them. There may well be many others that have so far eluded even these vigilant collectors. Further recordings
using similar pseudonyms or alter-egos were imade by such bands as Gene Kardos', Smith Baliew's, Victor Young's,
and Dick Robertson's, and details will be found under these headings. Only a collective personnel can be given:
Bunny Berigan, Sterling Bose, Frank Guarente, Bob Effros, t / Tommy Dorsey, Charlie Butterfield, Jack Teagarden,
tb / Jimmy Dorsey, Chester Hazlett, Sid Stoneburn, Arnold Brilhartcl, as, bar, etc. /Larry Binyon, Mutt Hayes, cl, ts,

Some time during 1 927, Louis Armstrong recorded fifty cornet solos on cylinders for the Melrose Music Publishing
Co., to be transcribed and published in an album. Some years ago, there was a report that one of these, DOCTOR
JAZZ, had been discovered, and that the band accompanying sounded very much like the Hot Seven. The where¬
abouts of this cylinder, if indeed it existed, and the name and address of its supposed owner are not known.

from the California Ramblers nor any other was ever given this name.
BAILEY'S LUCKY SEVEN
Although this recording band, directed by Sam Lanin, produced mainly commercial dance numbers, many of them
were played with a strong jazz flavor, even the most unlikely looking titles featuring several hot solos. In view of this,
and as the personnels included recognized jazz musicians, the entire output is given.

Despite suggestions that at least some of the considerable number of sides by this band on Edison Diamond Discs
between 1921 and 1925 are by an augmented Original Memphis Five, no positive evidence for or against is yet to
hand. The following coupling is of somewhat greater interest as hot dance music than most under the name.

CHICK BULLOCK
Chick Bullock was among the most prolific of all American recording artists of the 1 930s and early 1 940s. The fol¬
lowing chapter attempts to list all the records, excluding waltzes, issued under his name, as distinct from those dance
bands with which he also sang. Not all are of equal jazz merit, but as complete a listing as possible is believed to be
of greater use than a selective one, in view of the high proportion of jazz accompaniments among them. In prepar¬
ing this chapter, I had the help of Chick Bullock himself, through the kindness and patience of a mutual friend, Peter
Tanner. See also ARC-Brunswick studio bands.

The error in labeling the latter as "Moman" undoubtedly arose from the entry in the Gennett files in such a florid
handwriting as to make "Norman" look like "Moman" at first glance.

CALIFORNIA RAMBLERS
This prolifically recorded dance orchestra was also known as the Golden Gate Orchestra on subsidiary labels such
as Puritan (from Paramount) or Regal (from Emerson), and such items are marked* after the relevant catalogue
number. Because all Edison Diamond Discs, Blue Amberol cylinders, Harmony, and Pathe records (and their asso¬
ciated labels) are always so described, however, they are not marked *. Records by the Five Birmingham Babies,
the Goofus Five (and their Orchestra), the Vagabonds, the University Six, the Varsity Eight, and Ted Wallace and his
Orchestra, which are substantially the California Ramblers, are shown under their own headings.

From this point, Edison usually produced dual matrices at each selection, one vertically cut and the other lateral,
which were recorded simultaneously. The 18000-19000 numbers were a continuation of the vertical-cut series,
whereas the N-prefix numbers were allocated to the new lateral ("Needle-Cut") series.

The next three sessions, and those on January 30, March 3, March 26, and April 15, 1931, produced few sides
issued as GOLDEN GATE ORCHESTRA, but they were recorded as Ed Kirkeby and his Orchestra, and a consid¬
erable number were composed by Fred van Eps, Jr., Lew Cobey, and Ed Kirkeby. It has not been possible to exam¬
ine all of them, as they are extremely rare, and thus they are listed fully on the principle that even the most unprom¬
ising titles can contain excellent jazz solos, especially in view of the personnel.

Tommy Dorsey directed the next session, which produced only one title. The Victor files give us no clue to instru¬
mentation, let alone personnel, other than Edythe Wright (Dorsey's vocalist at the time). It is likely, therefore, that
the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra of that period was used in its entirety, making the personnel as follows:Tommy Dorsey,

NOTES: (1) The Edison 11000 and 14000 series (lateral-cut records) are labeled CALIFORNIA RAMBLERS; the
vertical-cut Diamond Discs are as GOLDEN GATE ORCHESTRA. (2) Harmony records issued as the GOLDEN
GATE ORCHESTRA other than those listed here, are of no jazz interest. (3) A Sam Lanin record (PA 36823, Per
15004, Apex 8290, and its English equivalent PA 11571) was issued as by the California Ramblers. (4) Federal
5333 (HOME TOWN BLUES, mx 2-2241 ) was issued as by GOLDEN GATE ORCHESTRA. It is questionable whether
this indeed is a California Ramblers issue. The name was also used in error for Joseph Samuels and his Orchestra on
Triangle 11266 (FIRST LAST AND ALWAYS), q.v., and on Broadway 11 21 5 for Sammy Swift's Jazz Band, q.v.

COLUMBIA BAND / ORCHESTRA
The following records by this prolific pioneer recording ensemble are of interest as contemporary accounts of rag¬
time and ragtime-influenced numbers. The approximate recording dates given are those of the original sessions;
many masters were subsequently remade on the same matrix numbers, with higher take digits, on unknown dates.
All are 10" unless noted; many are anonymous or take the label name as a pseudonym (e.g., STANDARD BAND).

CONWAY'S BAND
The following titles by this famous concert band are interesting not so much for the performances as for what is
performed. For some time it was alleged, with no aural or documentary evidence whatsoever, that the soloist on
SLIDUS TROMBONUS (Victor 18117) was the New Orleans jazz trombonist Calvin "Zue" Robertson, whereas it
was in fact Charles Randall, and of no interest as ragtime or jazz.

According to Jazz Information on November 14, 1939, ten sides were cut during this session; the other three were
probably undocumented tests. The difference in the numerical sequence of the matrix numbers between the
first three and the last four sides is due to the use of two studios. The title of 26239-A on Par R-2974 is FOUR
DAYS CREEP. Alternative versions of most 1939 titles have been reissued on LP, including previously unissued
titles.

WILLIE CREAGER AND HIS ORCHESTRA
Rumor persists that Willie Creager's band recorded with Bix Beiderbecke when both were playing in the Cinderella
Ballroom, New York, in the autumn of 1924. Be that as it may, the following from the enormous number made by his
band between 1 923 and 1 930 are of jazz interest, although little is known regarding the personnel. It should not be
assumed that other titles, even those made at any of the following sessions, are of the same outstanding quality.

This tremendously popular vocalists was an avowed jazz enthusiast and insisted his accompanists include the late
Eddie Lang, g, right up to the day of Lang's death. Although Lang, the Dorsey Brothers, and other jazz stars of the
early 1 930s played on many of Bing's records of that time, few were featured extensively; but as might be expected,
a fair number of sides recorded by the Old Groaner, as he was affectionately known, in his half-century as a record¬
ing artist, are of interest as jazz, and these are listed below.

Meyer Davis' career extended over half a century, but few of his products are of interest as jazz. However, the follow¬

last session; Davis' only contribution was probably to arrange the sessions.

DENZA DANCE BAND
This name was chosen in 1 925 by Herbert C. Ridout, publicity manager of the Columbia Graphophone Company in
London, to mask the identities of American dance bands whose first electric recordings it was desired to issue
without public announcement of the new recording technique. (Ted Lewis, in London at the time and easily
recognizable anyway, was not renamed.) Sides containing jazz solos, or included in this book for completeness, are
as follows:

The following record sounds incredibly advanced for a native British group of the time. It is an English recording, not
apparently made by the Aco Vocalion combine, yet it was issued on two labels that normally drew on that repertoire.
The same title on their sister labels, such as Guardsman, is from Aco, and is of no jazz interest.

On July 16, 1928, a heavily augmented Dorsey Brothers' Orchestra with Dr. Eugene Ormandy as guest conductor
recorded the waltz WAS IT A DREAM? in two parts for Okeh, but as might be expected, the results were of no
interest as jazz, but for a short trombone solo.

At this point, the Dorsey Brothers' Orchestra discographies always refer to a session in Brunswick's New York studios
for issue in England on Duophone. Although both Dorseys were indeed present on these sides, the Brunswick files

NOTE: Parlophone F-1239 was issued on November 1, 1938, and promptly withdrawn owing to the alleged use of
an obscene word in the lyric of the reverse side (OL1 MAN MOSE). To any normal listener, however, the lyrics are as
unexceptionable on this record as on any of the other versions. Other titles by Duchin are of no jazz interest.

The next two sides, although labeled as Johnny Dunn's Original Jazz Hounds, are entered in the Columbia files
simply as ORIGINAL JAZZ HOUNDS, and neither the cornet work nor the arrangements are typical of Dunn. They
may be the sides referred to in The Chicago Defender of May 13, 1922, in connection with Sam Wooding's Orches¬
tra having recently recorded for Columbia (such records, if they were made, were not issued under Wooding's name).
If the band is Wooding's, the personnel would be: Elmer Chambers, c / Robert Horton, tb / as / Rollen Smith, ts /

CARL FENTON AND HIS ORCHESTRA
Carl Fenton originally was pseudonym for Brunswick musical director Gus Haenschen, who subcontracted
the “Fenton” sessions to various free-lance musicians and orchestras, most often those of Bennie Krueger and
Harry Reser. The Fenton name was later licensed by Reser’s violinist, Rubie Greenberg, for use on labels others
than Brunswick. The following from the prodigious output issued under this ficitious name are of some interest as
jazz or hot dance music.

ARTHUR FIELDS
Arthur Fields (real name Abe Finkelstein) was a much-recorded vocalist in New York during the inter-war years. He
was the song-writing and publishing partner of Fred Hall, q.v., with whose orchestra he performed as vocalist in the
later 1 920s. They may accompany him on the following, although the Edison files do not credit Hall’s orchestra. The
instrumental work is of some interest as jazz.

As musical director for Zonophone records from 1 924 to 1 928, Bert Firman was responsible for the entire output of
British dance records on that label. His own work was issued under his name, and that of the Cabaret Novelty
Orchestra, the Carlton Hotel Dance Orchestra, the Arcadians Dance Orchestra, the Devonshire Restaurant Dance
Band, and the Rhythmic Eight. Many of these were first-class jazz or hot dance-band records, and those issued as
the Arcadians Dance Orchestra, the Devonshire Restaurant Dance Band, and the Rhythmic Eight are listed under
those names. The remainder that are of jazz interest are shown below; the initials of the names on the labels are

02465-1 . Owing to protests from Decca Records that the use of Ella Fitzgerald was a breach of contract with them,
these were withdrawn, and 25461 was reissued, coupling 02459-1 with a new recording of GOODNIGHT, MY LOVE
(matrix 04235-1 ; see January 1 4, 1 937). The latter was then coupled with 02463-1 , still with Ella Fitzgerald, but
Victor 25469, once withdrawn, was never reused. Matrix 02462 is not by the Benny Goodman Orchestra.

At this point, some acetate recordings were made from two broadcasts from the Hotel Pennsylvania's Manhattan

red-vinylite LPs during the 1 950s, in a very private limited edition. As they do not qualify as commercial issues, it is
not felt they need be listed here in detail, but D. R. Connor's book BGon the Record gives all the known facts about
them.

GREY GULL STUDIO BANDS
Grey Gull Records, headquartered in Boston with studios in New York, used a fairly stable roster of musicians for its
house orchestra, like most recording companies of the time. On both parent and subsidiary labels (Madison, Radiex,
Supreme, Van Dyke, inter alia), pseudonyms were the rule, often differing across labels. Occasionally there were
even anonymous issues. To further complicate life, the same recording under a different title, catalog number, and
band credit occasionally was re-pressed on the same label. For records issued outside the United States, there is
yet another array of pseudonyms. To simplify, Grey Gull dance records by this “house band" contingent are listed
here if they offer something to interest the jazz collector and if they do not belong to a distinctly identifiable group
which played and recorded in venues other than the Grey Gull studios. The artist credit, if any, is shown after each
individual catalog number.

At this point, Annette Hanshaw began recording under her own name for Columbia and Okeh, and for Columbia's
low-priced labels (Harmony, Clarion, Diva, and Velvet Tone) also, most of the latter being credited to GAY ELLIS for
the sentimental numbers, and DOT DARE or PATSY YOUNG for the lifelike impersonations of Helen Kane, who

HORACE HEIDT'S ORCHESTRA
The following records are known to be of some interest as jazz for their solo work. Bobby Hackett, c, was a member
of the band from the end of 1 939 until the summer of 1 941 , but he does not seem to have contributed any solos of
great length to any of the Columbia records made during that time.

THE SOUTHERN SERENADERS: Although a certain amount of controversy still centers around the products of
this session issued under this name, the Columbia files bear an obliterated artist credit to what looks like FLETCHER
HENDERSON AND HIS ORCHESTRA, the above pseudonym written in above. Had this been a Sam Lanin ses¬
sion, as Walter C. Allen and other authorities contended, surely his name would have been entered, even if it had
subsequently been obliterated also. A record date by a collaboration of Henderson and Lanin musicians is dimly
remembered by some of each (and vigorously denied by others), according to various collectors who interviewed
them, although such a collaboration is unlikely as long ago as 1925. In view of the evidence on the Coumbia file
card and the sound of the sides themselves, I am prepared to accept the assertion of Louis Armstrong and Don
Redman that the band responsible was Henderson's, with white vocalist Billy Jones added for one side. New York,
August 7, 1925.

pens that the latter feature good solos instead of the vocal part, and further investigation may well prove rewarding.

BUNK JOHNSON
Although Willie “Bunk" Johnson had been a musician in New Orleans and the South since the end of the nineteenth
century, he made no records until 1 942. Thus it is felt that a discography of Bunk Johnson belongs to Jorgen Grunnet
Jepsen's Jazz Records, 1942-1965 , which is where it will be found.
CAROLINE JOHNSON
This is a possible pseudonym for Alta Browne (q.v. for her duets with Bertha Powell).

NOTE: Aurally, the vocalist and mandolin player is Al Miller, who also recorded four duets with _ Rodgers (v, g) on
this date (matrices 14798-14801, inclusive). Matrix 14795 is a blues solo by Willie Baker, with his own guitar; either
he or Rodgers could thus have played guitar on this date, a stranger to the rest of the band, one of whom encour¬
ages him with "Play it, Mr. Guitar Man!" rather than by name or nickname, as Punch Miller is addressed. Champion

ED KIRKEBY
Ed Kirkeby began managing dance bands and popular artists in 1 91 6, and it is entirely due to his kindness and generosity
that we are able to date exactly all the records by the California Ramblers, Little Ramblers, Goofus Five, Five Birmingham
Babies, Vagabonds, and Varsity Eight, as well as by many blues singers and other recording artists. Many of his records
were issued as by TED WALLACE or ED KIRKEBY WALLACE AND HIS ORCHESTRA / CAMPUS BOYS / SWING
MUSIC, and those of interest as jazz or hot dance music will be found under such names. (The Goofus Five on Odeon
193248 and 193428, and "Ted Wallace" on Okeh 40788 and Par lophone E-5807 are all credited to ED KIRKEBY AND
HIS ORCHESTRA). On March 2, 1931 , a session for Banner remade under Ed Kirkeby's direction some sides made for
this label under Ben Pollack's direction some days earlier; they were credited to Ben Pollack on issue, and bear the same
matrix numbers as the originals. The Spanish Parlophone issue (B-25459) of the Goofus Five is credited to ED KIRKEBY
Y SU ORQUESTA. Several sides appeared on various American and British labels as by ED LOYD (sometimes LLOYD)
and his Orchestra, but those made under Ed Kirkeby's direction are not as a rule of great jazz interest, those that are will
be found under the California Ramblers, Ted Wallace, the Goofus Five, etc.

being a jazz saxophone player as the term is understood today. From the enormous number of sides he made

MANDY LEE
Three different performers used this name on record. The Mandy Lee who recorded for Gennett in 1923 with Ladd's
Black Aces, q.v., is not likely to have been the same as those listed below. Ladd's Black Aces were the Original
Memphis Five, and their Mandy Lee sounds as if she was white also; it has been suggested as a pseudonym for
Vaughn De Leath, based on aural evidence.
The following is not the same performer as the Mandy Lee on Banner and associated labels (see next titles ), based
on aural evidence:

At this point, Philip Lewis engaged the same musicians to make a series of records for export to German-speaking
nations. This is confirmed by Sylvester Ahola's diary for 1929 and by entries in the Decca files, but the titles do not
suggest (and Ahola could not recall that) anything recorded would be of the slightest interest to a jazz enthusiast.

At this point, the combined action of the Ministry of Labour and the Musicians' Union succeeded in preventing American
musicians in London from making records with bands other than those in which they normally worked. The forego¬
ing, while not of uniform standard, are a complete account of the band's output (excluding waltzes) to the time of the
union ban. The following, produced thereafter, are known to be of interest, and there are probably others with short
solos featured.

"The High-Hat Tragedian of Jazz" was not himself a jazz musician so much as a comedian bandleader. He did,
however, employ front-rank jazz musicians from time to time, and to his credit, gave them quite long solo parts.
Such recordings are listed below; see The American Dance Band Discography, 191 7-1 942 for Lewis' complete output.

SYD UPTON
Sydney Lipton was director of dance music in London's Grosvenor House Hotel during the 1930s, and as might be

The Chicago Defender of July 3, 1926, refers to Virginia Liston's having recorded some unspecified titles for an
unnamed company in Chicago, apparently during the preceding few weeks. The only known session near the date
of this report is the following, usually shown as accompanied by Perry Bradford, p / Sam Speed, bj, and an uniden¬
tified trumpet; however, it is quite unlikely that either of these New York-based musicians are present.

JAMES MELTON
James Melton, once the alto sax soloist with Francis Craig's orchestra (q.v.), became an opera singer via dance-
band and popular vocal records and films. The following are of slight interest for the accompaniments.

NOTE: Matrix 1 49446-6 is a remake of a master originally made on November 1 9, 1 929. Benny Goodman is not in
evidence on 149445-3 from that session, which was issued, and thus it is likely he took no part in it at all.

MEMPHIS JAZZERS
Most records issued on Grey Gull and associated labels under this name are of commercial dance music; details of
the most interesting titles will be found under GREY GULL STUDIO BANDS. The following session, by an appar¬

METROPOLITAN ORCHESTRA
This name was used for the earliest studio recording orchestra on disc records, first appearring on Emile Berliner's
Gramophone discs in the late 1890s, then continued on Eldridge R. Johnson's Improved Gram-O-Phone records,
and the earliest Victor records. The name was dropped in the summer of 1 904, when an attempt at a stablized per¬
sonnel brought about the formation of the Victor Orchestra, q. v. The following issues are of interest as ragtime, played
at the time it first gained popularity. Instrumentation does not seem to have varied much from session to session,
though doubtless the musicians did. It consisted basically of 2 c / tb / cl / f / pic / vn / p / bb / d, with perhaps ah /
th / bh on occasion.

NOTE: There is very little jazz to be heard on most of the above records, and they are listed more for the historical
than for the m usical interest. M. Robert Goffin, in his book La Nouvelle Histoire du Jazz, refers to four titles made by
this band (BRIGHT EYES, PEACHES, WHEN BUDDHA SMILES, and YADA), but so far, no trace can be found of
any other details. In the same book is a reference to a recording of Jean Cocteau reading his poem "Le Coq et
L'Arlequin" on two sides of an otherwise unidentified record, accompanied by "Orchestre Dan Parrish."

NOTE: This is Jelly Roll Morton's touring band, and probably the only example of a recording by a regular Morton
organization, as distinct from a studio group. The Gennett files for December 1, 1925, list for matrix 12440 (also
destroyed May 31, 1927) a test recording of MILENBERG JOYS by an unnamed artist, with the mysterious note
"Re Re." This almost certainly means a subsequent rerecording of the title by the same artist, who is probably Jelly
Roll Morton, with a band possibly including Punch Miller and Edwin Swayzee on cornets. Buddy 8004 as NEW

both these issues.

very satisfactory and historically important, as they represent the only Mississippi riverboat band to play and record

ORIGINAL DIXIELAND JAZZ BAND
Many anecdotal sources over the years have cited January 24, 1 91 7, as the date of a Columbia test session by the
Original Dixieland Jazz Band, the results of which were supposedly resurrected for a belated September release on
Columbia A2297. However, no documentation of any such session has been found in Nick LaRocca's files or in the
Columbia files, which logged the matrices used on that record on May 31, 1917 (q.v.).

THE PICCADILLY PLAYERS
There were two groups of this name in the late 1 920s. One was directed by Mel Morris (recording for Edison in New
York), and the other a studio band directed by Al Starita for Columbia in London. The former features an excellent
but unidentified trumpet on several sides; the latter sometimes offers solos by star musicians, as follows.

ALBERTA PRIME
The correct spelling of this artist's surname appears to be PRYME, q.v. It is not a pseudonym for Alberta Hunter, as
has so often been incorrectly asserted.
PRINCE'S (MILITARY) BAND / ORCHESTRA
Charles A. Prince was the house director for Columbia in New York until late 1 922. Records issued under his name
amount to many hundreds, but the following are of considerable interest as contemporary accounts of ragtime music.
Most issues except Columbia are anonymous or pseudonymous. See also COLUMBIA BAND / ORCHESTRA for

Pseudonym on Bell for the Original Indiana Five, q.v., and on Australian Regal G-2091 0 for the Lazy Levee Loungers,

THE RED HOTTERS
Pseudonym on acoustic OKeh/Parlophone for studio groups of no interest, and Silvertone 3526 and 3527 for Boyd
Senter and the Chicago De Luxe Orchestra, q.v. Interestingly, a 1 925 Silvertone sleeve advertises Silvertone 3560,
with titles HOT MUSTARD and THIRD ALLEY BREAKDOWN under this pseudonym. These titles do appear on
Silvertone 3548, bearing Jimmy O'Bryant's CLARINET GETAWAY and BACK ALLEY RUB, using the above pseudo¬
titles, and the pseudonym THE HOT DOGS. Unless a copy of 3560 eventually appears, we must assume a commu¬
nication breakdown occurred between production and marketing, an all-too-common phenomenon, even today.

HARRY RESER
Harry Reser was an American banjo/guitarist who made hundreds of comedic and "vo-de-o-do“ sides, solo and
with bands, for most of the recording companies in New York from 1 921 to the 1 950s. There is jazz among them, but
the quantity of recordings is so great and the jazz content so varied, that they require a book to themselves. William
W. Triggs has authored such a book; hence, a listing of band names commonly used by Harry Reser will suffice
here. For a fuller listing of the pseudonyms used by Reser bands, see Pseudonyms on American Records, 1892-
1942 (Mainspring Press). The following is a collective personnel for the Harry Reser bands listed below: Earl Oliver,
Tommy Gott, Hymie Farberman, occasionally Red Nichols (c. 1925 only), t / Sam Lewis, tb / Larry Abbott, cl, as,
comb / Norman Yorke, ts / Jimmy Johnston, bsx / Joe Venuti and/or Murray Kellner, vn / Bill Wirges, p / Harry Reser,
bj, g / Joe Tarto, bb, when used /Tom Stacks d, v; sometimes other vocalists, occasionally other instrumentalists.
The Blue Kittens
The Campus Boys*
The Clicquot Club Eskimos
Jerome Conrad and his Orchestra*
Carl Fenton and his Orchestra*
The Four Minstrels (Oliver, Larry Abbott, Wirges, Reser)
The High Hatters (not the Victor band)
Phil Hughes and his High Hatters (Pathe / Perfect only)
The Jazz Pilots
Jimmy Johnston’s Rebels
Night Club Orchestra
Okeh Syncopators
Parlophone Syncopators
Earl Oliver's Jazz Babies
The Plantation Players
The Rounders*
The Seven Little Polar Bears
Seven Rag Pickers
Seven Wild Men (q.v.)
The Six Hayseeds
Six Jumping Jacks
Tom Stacks and his Minute Men
Victorian Syncopators
Bill Wirges and his Orchestra (q.v.)
NOTE: The names marked * were also used to cover other bands. Records by the Seven Wild Men and Bill Wirges
and his Orchestra are included in this work as they are of somewhat less commercial or comedy-type material. The
name of HARRY RESER'S DANCE ORCHESTRA on Imperial 1844 (I AIN'T GOT NOBODY) was used in error, or
as a pseudonym, for the California Ramblers, q.v.

WILLARD ROBISON
The following sides from the considerable recorded repertoire of this American composer have points of interest as
jazz. Willard Robison's Deep River Quintette was featured with the Chicago Loopers, q.v., one side being issued
under his name, and this is almost certainly the session Robison recalled when he claimed to have employed Bix
Beiderbecke, c, and Frank Trumbauer, Cm. Most of Robison's vocal records are beyond the scope of this work.

VINCENT ROSE
This Californian bandleader and songwriter directed a number of sessions for Victor in the 1 920s, of which the fol¬

SAVOY QUARTET
This unit played with great success in the ballroom of the Savoy Hotel, London, from 1915 to 1920. In that period, it
recorded a large number of sides for HMV, some being the first British recordings of accepted jazz standards. These
are shown below as being of some historical interest, especially as the drum work is quite advanced for its time.

JOAN SAWYER'S PERSIAN GARDEN ORCHESTRA
Research by Tim Brooks has revealed that this was a black orchestra led by Dan Kildare, president of the Clef Club,
and was employed by Joan Sawyer, a white dancer. The following titles, all unfortuately unissued, appear to be of
obvious importance as ragtime performances by one of the first black orchestras to record.

JACK SHILKRET'S ORCHESTRA
Jack Shilkret, one of Nat Shilkret's brothers, recorded many sides for Victor in the 1920s and for ARC in the 1930s.
The earlier records offer little to interest the jazz enthusiast, but the later issues were made by musicians drawn
from the collective personnel shown, and often feature excellent solos, thus all the ARC sides are listed here.

SHILKRET, NAT
NAT SHILKRET
Nathaniel “Nat" Shilkret was Victor's Director of Light Music between 1915 and 1945, and he also conducted vari¬
ous studio orchestras in recordings of serious works. Between 1 926 and 1 932, he directed dozens of sides as NAT
SHILKRET AND THE VICTOR ORCHESTRA (the English HMV equivalents omit "Victor” from the artist credit), for
which he drew on some of the finest talent in New York. The following feature soloists of considerable interest, in the
identification of which I have had the incalculable assistance of Nat Shilkret himself, and also of Milt Rettenberg.

NOTE: Although some sources give a personnel similar to that of the next session, the Rega Orchestra was a white
studio group, and aural evidence strongly suggests it was indeed they who contributed the very conventional, non¬
jazz accompaniment on this date. The high take letters suggest that two sessions were used in recording these
titles. The date shown is probably correct for the second of these; the first must have taken place between the Victor

SOUSA'S BAND
The full strength of this famous concert band was 64 men, only a small proportion of which were employed on the
following records. The personnel given is collective; most of the musicians appear in the contemporary Berliner and
Victor catalogues as being "of Sousa's Band," so it is reasonable to assume they took part in the undermentioned
sessions. John Philip Sousa himself did not participate in these recordings.
Collective personnel: Henry Higgins, c, dir: Walter B. Rogers, Rouss Millhouse, Herman Bellstedt, Herbert L. Clarke,

NOTES: Sylvester Ahola, often named as second trumpet here, stated specifically to Dick Hill that he never
recorded with Beiderbecke (Hooley, The Gloucester Gabriel, 1993). He was supposed to be at the September 28
session, but missed it, and denied his presence on September 30, aurally identifying Farrar. Cush is suggested
based on his definite presence in New York to record with the California Ramblers. OKeh 40912, Odeon 1 89070 as

Note: OKeh 40938 as RUSSELL GRAY AND HIS ORCHESTRA. This session has always been a puzzle for
Beidebecke analysts. The cornet introduction and solo show a paucity of attack and a pedestrian execution unlike
all other Beiderbecke recordings, which leads many to question his presence. Contemporaries Rank and Morehouse
positively identified Beiderbecke not only as present, but as the soloist; heavily intoxicated, irritated at having been
summoned from a bar for the date, and reading the notes, a triple handicap. Following the vocal, the cornet plays
eight measures solo, eight over the ensemble. In the twelfth measure, a second cornet is distinctly audible playing
a four-note fill, although Frank Trumbauer's ledger mentions no second cornetist. But someone else on the session
had a horn in hand, putatively to stand in for the impaired confrere if necessary, which may or may not have hap¬
pened. The four-note fill was presumably inserted by whoever was the non-featured player.

PAUL VAN LOAN AND HIS ORCHESTRA
Paul van Loan, one-time trombonist and arranger with Jean Goldkette's orchestra, made a number of titles with his
own band for Cameo during the mid-1920s. The following are of some interest as hot dance music; the New York
Clipper of February 22, 1 924, gives the following personnel, which is probably the same as or very similar to the one
used on the records:

VICTOR (DANCE) ORCHESTRA
The first personnel shown for this orchestra is taken from a publicity sheet issued in 1 905 by Victor. Victor's files do
not list the personnel, but I do not believe it to have varied much during the following years. The titles listed are of
considerable interest as contemporary accounts of ragtime; the earliest issues appeared simply as DANCE
ORCHESTRA. (Note that the Victor files list no personnel, and usually no conducor, for these recordings.)
